separation Of the young couple Then
the fascinating Countess Milliiores APP

THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE
BILL.


This law, which regulates railroad
charges in the United States, has pass
ed both Branches of Congress and
awaits the Presidents signature. 1t is
thought that the effect of the working
Of the law will be to stop low through
rates for goods from the east to the
west coast If this should be the case
our merchants will have to look ahead
and arrange for the Isthmus OF Cape
Horn carriers. Possibly the Canadian
Pacific Railway people can offer terms
that will be acceptable to our i'm
Dorters.

NINATU ISLAND.
Wonderful Outbreak of Natures Hidden
Forces.


The story Of a wonderful volcanic
outbreak on the little island of Ninatu,
situated in a close proximity to the
Friendly group in the South Pacific
ocean, was yesterday narrated by a
sailor to a Ch,Saiele reporter.
The man had been serving on the
colonial steamer Suva, which phys from
Leonka, FIJI, around the South Sea
islands, and was on the steamer when
she visited the scene of the disaster.
The main incidents were told to him
by trader who was on the island.
The island of Ninatu is small and of
a round shape. In its center there
used to be large clear lake, studded
with islets, and it looked as if the lake
occupied the crater of some extinct
volcano. A very lovely spot was this
island before the eruption, covered as
it was with vegetation, cocoanut trees,
bananas, bread fruits and gardens
where the natives cultivated patches Of
yams, taro and sweet potatoes. But
now it looks like great gray mass of
volcanic rock, covered with ashes and
lava.
On the night Of August aS, 1886, the
natives we're startled by earthquake
shocks, heavy lightning and thunder
and rain. They we're so scared that
the six villages on the east side Of the
island were abandoned, and in COM
pany with three white traders the ma
tives went to the lee, or west shore
The quakes and storm continued for
three. days, and on the 3Ist Of August
a huge pillar of flame shot up from the
center Of the lake, accompanied by
columns Of boiling water and showers
of stones and pumice. The waters Of
the lake boiled and seethed, and then
from its bosom a cone of land started
up. -Four craters upon this new up
heayal began to yomit fire, stones,
ashes and scoria, covering the island
and burning up every particle of yege-
tation. This war Of the elements con
tinued for ten days and everything was
covered with volcanic dust to depth
OF many feet. A canoe which the ma
tives used to go across to another
island for shelter was buried thirty feet
under ashes and lava, and they had
just succeeded in digging it out when
the steamer Suva hove in sight. 1t
was found that the natives had but five
days provisions, and that, although the
volcanic commissions had ceased, they
we're very much frightened. AS the
Suva could not carry many passengers,
she went over to Tonga and two
schooners were dispatched to the relief
Of the sufferers. A plentiful supply OF
breadfruits, bananas, taro and vans
were taken, and the natives will be
transported to other islands, as the en-
tire crop Of their lands on Ninatu has
been destroyed.
The captain Of the Suva sounded all
round the island and ascertained that
the water in the harbor had increased
in depth, Land and sea birds that
were numerous before the eruption had
entirely deserted the island, and where
was smiling landscape is now desc
late lava and pumice covered scene.
Volumes Of steam were ascending from
the lake when the Suya left on her re.
turn trip TO Fits. f. CHr0aicle

AS will be seen on inspection, the
house OF $. Mayer IS stocked full OF an
elegant array OF fashionable dress goods
in all the latest tints, designs and fam
cies. Mr.. and Mrs. Mayer, while In the
east, let no chance escape them to pro-
cure the best and choicest dress goods.
Counters and shelves show their efforts
and tastes we're more than usually cred
liable. At the same time, though ex-
pecting to realize quickly on their large
purchases, they were not slow In appre-
ciating the stringency OF the times, and
therefore they "screwed" down prices
far below what would be a fair value for
the goods. Look at their all wool A.
inch Scotch tweeds, 62c a yard; all wool,
double width serge, go yard; double
width French disgonals, all wool, 4Sc

call on S. Mayer and see the fine effects
in velvet combinations snd special dress
patterns. and If you want anything he
will sell it to you right.

THE BEITEL CASE.

The LAWYERS Have Now their In
nings and are Making the
Clients White.
In the Beitel case yesterday Judge
Keller for the plaintiff. Mrs. .Beitel, con
tinued his address and reviewed the
evidence which he characterized as I'M
reliable, bringing the alleged subOrdina-
ton to perjury to bear upon the point,
and continued until late at night.
Judge Keller spoke for 81 hours and
then relinquished the wind machine to
Mao Anderson this morning, who talked
all the forenoon. Mr.. Tarleton will
probably commence this afternoon.
During the trial it was noticeable
that many boys were present, listening
to the sslacious details and for that
reason some people advocate the hear
ing of such testimony with closed doors
This is wrong. While 1t is desirable to
keep boys out Of court, especially when
such cases are being tried, 1t is certainly
not desirable In public interest. that the
public court should be converted into q
star chamber tribunal.

HonorabIy indicated.

In the case Of the state versus Ed. f.
Rowe, the white barber arrested and
charged on an oath of black bootblack,
Alec Porter, with rape on Georgia Brat
ford, a little black girl, Justice MoAllis-
ter, at the request OF the county attor-
ney, this morning dismissed the case
against Mr.. Rowe, after hearing the tes-
timony Of the girl and her father, Reu-
ben Anderson, who passed the door
Of the shop and saw the girl in there.
Neither witness eliminated Rowe, or
showed that the charge was sustained.
Now IL would seem that Mr.. Rowe, as
well as any other white man brought
under the Odium Of such charge
through malice, or because negro
didn't like him, should have ample re-
course against the prosecutor. If the
law does not give it to him, mems own
feelings and conscience in the matter
should award him a just refusal for the
terrible wrong done him.

Two San AntoniarS Charged With
Making Forged Alterations
to a Note.


Making Forged Alterations
to a Note.
Mr.. Ii. Milton Dalton, manager of the
Dalton Safe and Lock company ana
director Of the Young Mems Christian
Association. has been arrested upon a
charge OF defrauding Sam Maverick OF
$500 by means of a forged note. He is
now at liberty under thousand dollar
bond.
The facts of the case are that on Oc-
tOber 10. last, A. and +. CsgniOn gave
note OF $3.50, payable on December 25th.
1856, in consideration of the transfer OF
certain land; the note was made non
negotiable, and that part which read
ito the order off, was changed "tO the
bearer
The person, to whose order it was
drawn, and II. NJ. Dalton endorsed it.
Dalton raised $500 on the note from Sam
Maverick, but 1t was not paid at matu-
rity, and although held over, it has not
been paid. The Cagnions now pronounce
the alterations a forgery, and therefore
Mr.. II. Nj. Dalton was arrested. A war
rant is out for the arrest Of the other en-.
doreee, who is absent from the city. and
as soon as he returns he will be arrested.
